Election Day

Dylan had Thomas and me up this morning before the polls opened, so we each took advantage of the early hour and slipped out in the fog to vote. My doing this, though, prevented Blake from getting his civics lesson first-hand.
Later, Blake was chattering "vote, vote, yeah!" in response to talk on the car radio. So I seized the teachable moment.
"Blake, today we vote on a new person to be in charge of the country. Do you know what it means to be 'in charge'?"
"Yeah!"
"Really? Who is in charge, Blake?"
"Mama!"
Good boy.
...
When I told my clever spouse this story, Thomas said, "Well, clearly, he doesn't know what it means to be 'in charge.'"
